Narrator:What happened last time on Yu-Gi-Oh War Against Smithy.
After dealing with their Shadow doubles Mallow faced Belome and his Dark God The Wicked Dreadroot.
With a trick Grave gave Belome an advantage, Yugi the new Spirit of the Millennium Puzzle stepped in and confronted Belome.
When Belome was defeated Yugi faced Bakura in a Tabletop RPG.
Yugi ended up victorious Grave is now unconscious.
Mario and the others will soon set foot in Monstero Town from where they will infiltrate Nimbus City to drive out Valentina.
But before they can enter Monstero Town Bakura has one last trick up his sleeve.
And now the last part of this small side arc.
26. Dark Necrofear.
The Spirit of the Millennium Puzzle Yugi has just defeated Bakura the evil Spirit of the Millennium Ring, now our Shadows and Belome are out of the way and Grave laying knocked out on the ground we can finally enter Monstero Town to find the entrance to Nimbus City so we can defeat Valentina and safe my parents.
Grave laid on the ground he was slightly breathing.
'His heart still beats.' Mario concluded. 'And the Millennium Ring is gone.'
'Seems he is in a coma.' Geno said.
'Whatever its over let's go.' Bowser said Mario and the rest turned around and they walked away.
Outside the temple they saw a small road. 'At the end of this road lays Monstero Town, we're almost there hang on Mallow before you know we save your parents.' Geno said.
'Now you wait.' A strange voice said behind them they turned around Grave stood behind them, he had the Millennium Ring around his neck, the points were stuck in his chest, his eyes were white.
'H-ha ha ha you thought I would die that easily?' Grave said with a weird voice.
'Bakura!' Mario shouted.
'Indeed.' Bakura said. 'You didn't thought I wouldn't have a second plan?' He laughed.
'What have you done Bakura?' Geno asked.
'H-ha ha ha when Yugi defeated Zorc I send Grave's soul to the Shadow Realm, and I took his body through the Ring.'
The Millennium Puzzle flashed.
'I'll finish you off now.' Mario said with Yugi's voice.
Inside the Puzzle Mario stood next to Yugi.
'No Yugi let me do it.' Mario said.
'No let's do it together, my heart and your tactics, you'll play with my Deck so I can guide you.' Yugi said and Mario nodded.
'I'll take you on Bakura.' Mario said.
'Duel!' They both shouted.
(Bakura: 8000) - (Mario/Yugi: 8000)
'I shall start.' Bakura said drawing his sixth card.
'I set three cards facedown.' He said and three reversed cards appeared on the field.
'Next I summon the Headless Knight!' He shouted and slowly the headless knight appeared in front of Bakura. (1450 ATK)
'I end my turn.'
'This is obviously a trap.' Geno muttered.
This is a trap. Mario thought.
'No Mario.' Yugi said in his head. 'I've seen this one before, if I am right I know what he is up to, it is better that you attack him.'
Mario made his draw. 'I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts!' Mario shouted and a fierce lion appeared, he stood on two legs and he had a horn on his head. (1500 ATK)
'Gazelle attack Headless Knight!' Mario shouted.
'I was hoping you do that, reveal facedown card!' Bakura shouted.
'Fearful Earthbound!' A huge face appeared under Mario, Mario stood in his mouth sharp teeth surrounded him.
'H-ha ha ha each time you declare an attack you take 500 points of damage, and you just attacked.' Bakura said and the mouth slammed shut Mario groaned and Gazelle attacked tearing Headless Knight apart.
(Bakura: 7950) - (Mario/Yugi: 7500)
'I set this card facedown.' Mario groaned and his card appeared.
'I'll end my turn.'
Bakura quickly made his draw. 'I summon the Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams.' He said and the floating bed with the ghost in it appeared. (1300 ATK)
'I'll leave it with that.' Bakura said.
Mario drew his card. 'I summon King's Knight!' He shouted and the knight in golden armor appeared. (1600 ATK)
'Attack!' King's Knight rushed forward, the mouth under Mario slammed shut, when it opened King's Knight had stopped and Gazelle charged in causing the mouth to slam shut again.
When it opened again Mario was holding his chest.
(Bakura: 7750) - (Mario/Yugi: 6500)
'H-ha ha ha ha you see now? You cannot beat me, I activated Dark Spirit of the Silent, stopping your attack with King's Knight, forcing Gazelle to attack instead.'
Mario cursed. 'H-heh heh heh, come on it's a game, you should enjoy yourself for once.' Bakura laughed.
'Shut the hell up I set a card and end my turn.' Mario groaned and his facedown card appeared.
Bakura casually drew his card. 'I activate the Shallow Grave now we both can Special Summon a monster.' Mario who had no monsters in his Graveyard made no move, a facedown card appeared on Bakura's side.
'Now I sacrifice it.' Bakura said and the card disappeared. 'In order to summon The Earl of Demise!' The ugly zombie appeared on the field. (2000 ATK)
'Earl of Demise crush his King's Knight!' Bakura commanded and The Earl leaped forward and stabbed the Knight with his rapier.
(Bakura: 7750) - (Mario/Yugi: 6100)
Mario drew his card he glared at Bakura, Bakura looked calm.
'I activate Polymerization.' Mario said. 'I fuse Gazelle and Berfomed together!' A rather ugly-looking creature with wings and horns appeared, he and Gazelle swirled together a new creature appeared on the field it was a two headed lion it had the heads of both Gazelle and Berfomed and it had the wings of Berfomed. (2100 ATK)
'Now I activate Dust Tornado!' Mario shouted and his facedown card spun around, the mouth under him broke and scattered.
'Now Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast attack The Earl of Demise!'
The lion took flight landing on the monster tearing it apart.
(Bakura: 7650) - (Mario/Yugi: 6100)
Bakura clapped, Mario looked at him.
'H-ha ha ha well done, you've made it this far.' He said.
'What do you mean?' Mario scowled.
'I mean that we have entered the second stage of this Duel.' Bakura had drawn his card. 'I remove my three monsters from play.' He said and his Headless Knight, The Earl of Demise and The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams appeared behind him then they disappeared.
'Arise Dark Necrofear!' A most hideous creature appeared, it was a woman with steel clothing, she had blue skin and she was bald, in her hands she held a broken doll. (2200 ATK)
'If I destroy her he takes one of my monsters.' Mario muttered.
'H-ha ha ha you're wrong Mario.' Mario looked at Bakura.
'This is the test version of Dark Necrofear.'
Mario looked dumbfounded. 'This was Dark Necrofear how Pegasus meant her, but later before Dark Necrofear was released he changed the effect into the effect the true version has.'
'Why?' Mario asked.
'You'll find out.' Bakura replied.
'How did you get this card?' Mario asked.
'I took it from Pegasus, when Yugi defeated him Pegasus was exhausted I challenged him to a Shadow Game and killed him, after that I took the Millennium Eye and this card, he kept it in his office for some reason.'
Mario looked at Dark Necrofear. 'Now she attacks your Chimera!' Bakura shouted and Dark Necrofear casted her spell, Chimera groaned and exploded.
'You've destroyed Chimera which means I can Special Summon one of the Fusion Materials and I choose Berfomed!' The ugly beast reappeared on the field, he crouched. (1800 DEF)
(Bakura: 7650) - (Mario/Yugi: 6000)
'Next I activate the Dark Door.' Bakura said and one of his facedown cards spun around. 'Now we can only attack with one monster per turn, and finally I end my turn with a facedown card.' A new reversed card appeared on the field.
Mario looked suspiciously at Bakura's field.
'Draw!' Mario shouted.
'I sacrifice Berfomed for Dark Magician Girl!' With an explosion of flowers the female Spellcaster appeared. (2000 ATK)
'Now I play Magic Formula!' Mario shouted and a spell book appeared in the hands of Dark Magician Girl her power rose to 2700.
'Dark Magician Girl attack Dark Necrofear!' Dark Magician Girl fired her blast vaporizing Dark Necrofear.
(Bakura: 7150) - (Mario/Yugi: 6000)
'H-ha ha ha ha ha.' Bakura laughed. 'I must thank you because you just triggered my final plan, I activate from my Deck Dark Sanctuary!' A creepy castle rose behind Bakura the sky turned red and several gigantic eyes appeared in mid-air. 'H-ha ha ha with Dark Necrofear in my Graveyard this card activates, and when this card is activated The Ghost of Dark Sanctuary arrives.' A phantom like creature floated around the field for a brief period then it disappeared.
'And finally I activate Destiny Board!' Bakura's final facedown card spun around a huge Ouija board floated in the air, the hand of Dark Necrofear controlled a pointer it stopped at D.
'At each of your End Phases I get a new letter with five letters you die.' Bakura said.
Mario laughed. 'Slight miscalculation Bakura, you need five spaces and one is occupied by your Dark Door.'
This time Bakura laughed. 'Yes but thanks to Dark Sanctuary my Spell or Trap cards zones have no limit.'
'Alright then I end my turn.' Mario said, Dark Necrofear moved her hand around the board stopping on an E, it now read ''DE.''
Bakura drew. 'I summon Earthbound Spirit.' He said and the soul appeared on the field. (500 ATK)
'Now I end my turn, and so I must sacrifice my monster to keep Dark Sanctuary.' Earthbound Spirit disappeared.
'Your wide open Bakura!' Mario shouted.
'Dark Magician Girl attacks directly!' Suddenly The Ghost of Dark Sanctuary appeared out of Dark Magician Girl.
'You attacked with a possessed monster, so your attack backfires, you take half her attack points as damage while I gain the other half.
Mario grabbed his chest in pain.
'A Shadow Game, you turned this into a Shadow Game!' He shouted.
(Bakura: 9000) - (Mario/Yugi: 4650)
'Yes I did and this will be your worst Shadow Game yet.' Bakura replied.
'Then I must end my turn.' Mario said, and a reversed card appeared on his side of the field. The hand of Dark Necrofear moved over the board again this time the letter A appeared, now ''DEA'' hung in the air.
Bakura drew his card. 'I summon The Portrait's Secret.' Bakura said, and a painting appeared in mid-air suddenly a spirit appeared out of it. (1200 ATK)
'Now I'll end my turn so I sacrifice my monster.' Bakura said and his monster disappeared.
Mario quietly drew his card looked over his hand, he softly smiled, Yugi who was watching from out of the Puzzle was surprised. 'Now this looks familiar, if he does it like that he can overcome Bakura.' He muttered.
'I summon Kuriboh!' Mario shouted and the small monster appeared. (300 ATK)
'Next I activate a Trap card Collected Power, now one monster gains all Equip cards.' The Magic Formula appeared in Kuriboh's hand, he looked confused and the book disappeared, the power of Dark Magician Girl dropped back to 2000. 'Since Magic Formula is destroyed I gain 1000 Life Points, but that is not all Bakura look at Kuriboh.'
The Ghost of Dark Sanctuary was now possessing Kuriboh.
'This looks familiar, Yugi dealt with it in the past like this.' Bakura mumbled.
'Now Dark Magician Girl attack directly!' Mario shouted and the Dark Burning Attack hit Bakura in the chest.
(Bakura: 7000) - (Mario/Yugi: 5650)
'Is that all?' Bakura groaned, Mario nodded and again the hand of Dark Necrofear moved over the board now the letter T appeared it now said ''DEAT.''
'One more turn Mario, then it's over.' Bakura said.
'I summon Souls of the Forgotten!' Bakura shouted and the purple spirit appeared. (900 ATK)
'He attacks your Kuriboh!' Souls of the Forgotten charged in devouring the small monster.
(Bakura: 7000) - (Mario/Yugi: 5050)
'I end my turn and so I sacrifice my monster.' Souls of the Forgotten disappeared.
'Mario end your turn, you'll only stall your defeat.
He's right! Mario thought.
'No.' Yugi replied hearing Mario's thoughts. 'Let the heart of the cards guide you.'
Mario closed his eyes and he drew.
'I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard!' Mario shouted and the elven warrior clad in green armor appeared. (1400 ATK)
'Next I activate my De-Spell!' Mario shouted.
'Now I can destroy one of your Spell cards, and I target your Dark Sanctuary!' The castle and the eyes disappeared, the darkness stayed.
'I could have destroyed one of those Spirit Messages, destroying that whole Destiny Board, but by destroying Dark Sanctuary I got rid of that Spirit and I prevent you from playing any new Spell or Trap cards, because your zones are all full.'
Rozalin and Geno gave each other a high-five.
'Now Dark Magician Girl attacks you directly again!' The magical blast hit Bakura in the chest once more.
(Bakura: 5000) - (Mario/Yugi: 5050)
'H-ha ha ha H-heh heh heh ha ha ha ha ha!' Bakura laughed.
'Why are you laughing Bakura?' Mario asked.
'You have survived part two, now I reveal a secret, I guided you through this whole Duel, and now I remove three of my monsters from play!' Bakura shouted.
'Not another Dark Necrofear!' Mario shouted.
'Worse!' Bakura shouted and the souls of Souls of the Forgotten, The Portrait's Secret and Earthbound Spirit disappeared.
'Arise from the pits of Hell, to wreak havoc once more! I summon you divine lord of the darkness The Embodiment of Zorc!'
The huge hideous creature rose to field, he looked damaged from the battle he had against Yugi earlier, he had an evil look in his eyes.
'I'll kill them this time Bakura.' The evil Embodiment said.
'Now Mario, I summoned Zorc by removing three monsters from play, so his original attack score drops and he gains 1000 attack points for each monster I used.' Zorc was now surrounded by dark mist. (3000 ATK)
'Now Zorc do as you please.' Bakura said, Zorc leaped into the air he landed on Dark Magician Girl taring her apart limb by limb.
(Bakura: 5000) - (Mario/Yugi: 4050)
'That monster!' Mario shouted and the Eye of Wdjat appeared on his forehead.
'Bakura.' Yugi said.
'H-ha ha ha you finally showed up then.' Bakura said.
'You monster I'll take you down!' Yugi shouted.
'I change my Celtic Guard to defense mode, that's the only thing I can do right now.' Celtic Guard knelt. (1200 DEF)
'That must keep me safe for some time now.' Yugi muttered.
'Bakura you provide me with your life.' Zorc said.
'I'll use my life to change that Obnoxious Celtic Guard back to attack mode, he might survive but you'll take damage.' Zorc said, Bakura cleansed his chest red energy was drained from his body Celtic Guard stood up. (1400 ATK)
(Bakura: 4000) - (Yugi: 4050)
'Fine then.' Bakura said. 'Take half my life.' Bakura said and more red energy was drained from Bakura, Zorc rose to an power of 5000.
'Now I'll attack Celtic Guard!' Zorc shouted charging in he gave Celtic Guard a beating but the knight stood firm.
(Bakura: 2000) - (Yugi: 450)
Yugi was gasping for breath.
'Hurts doesn't it?' Zorc sneered. 'Since I was draining Bakura's power I now must go.' Zorc said and he dissolved into a black fog all of Bakura's Spell and Trap cards were also destroyed.
'And I'll bring him right back.' Bakura said, the soul of Dark Necrofear appeared it was devoured by Zorc who reappeared on the field. (2000 ATK)
Yugi closed his eyes. Seems he can be revived by removing from play other monsters, now Heart of the cards give me what I need. Yugi drew he opened his eyes.
'I'll activate Monster Reborn!' He shouted and Kuriboh appeared on the field.
'Now I sacrifice my two monsters!' Celtic Guard and Kuriboh disappeared.
'I summon you Dark Magician!' The most famous Spellcaster appeared on the field, he nodded at Yugi. (2500 ATK)
'Destroy Zorc!' Yugi shouted and Dark Magician fired his blast.
(Bakura: 1500) - (Yugi: 450)
'That's the end of Zorc.' Yugi said.
'H-ha ha ha you figured out?' Bakura asked.
'Yes Zorc needs monsters to be revived, but the three you put in your Graveyard in the beginning were used for Dark Necrofear, next you sacrificed three for the use of your Dark Sanctuary, these were used to summon Zorc and last turn you used Dark Necrofear the only one left in your Graveyard.'
Bakura drew his card and showed it to Yugi it was Monster Reborn.
'I'm bringing Zorc back the old-fashioned way.' Bakura said and he played the Spell card, Zorc reappeared once more. (2000 ATK)
'And you know Yugi, when he is summoned from the Graveyard without his own effect he gains his final effect, I target one card on the field and destroy it, and my target is your Dark Magician.
YOU LOST YUGI!' Bakura shouted and Zorc rushed forward Yugi grinned.
'What?' Bakura asked. 'Bakura, I have one more card to play.' Yugi said, Bakura looked at the field.
'No way! The card Mario played at the start of the Duel?'
Yugi nodded it was indeed the card Mario played.
'I-I forgot about it!' Bakura shouted.
'And it will be your downfall, I activate Mystical Refpanel!'
A fairy appeared in the air, she created a ball of light Zorc's image was captured in it.
'What the Hell!' Bakura shouted.
'You clearly said Zorc's effect targets, Mystical Refpanel can stop the effect of any card that targets, and now only once I can use the blocked effect as my own, choosing any target I like.'
A look of fear appeared on Bakura's face as the fairy shot the attack back at Zorc, Zorc roared when he was tore apart.
'Dark Magician end it Dark Magic Attack!' Dark Magician fired his magic Bakura screamed when he was toppled over.
(Bakura: 0) - (Yugi: 450)
Mario turned back to normal. 'We've done it.' He said.
The black fog Bakura had created disappeared.
Mario walked up to Grave who was now freed of Bakura he laid on the ground he was not moving. 'I'll be taking that.' He said taking the Millennium Ring off Grave's neck, Mario gave it to Geno. 'You guard it.' He said and Geno put it in his pocket.
'As long nobody touches it, it should be safe.' Geno said.
'What about Grave?' Mallow asked, Geno looked at him.
'He is been send into a coma, I don't know if he ever manages to break out of it let's hope he doesn't.'
Bowser laughed. 'Okay now that twerp is out of the way we can finally go to Nimbus City, the sooner we're done there the sooner I have my mansion back!'
Next time:

Bowser: Let us through please I'm the world champion Duel Monsters I am important.
